Pandan leaf is a rather commonly used ingredient in Asia cuisine. It can be used to make savory dishes such as pandan wrap chicken, or get its juice extracted to make sweet dessert. The leaf on its own is coarse and fibrous, hence you don't actually eat the leaf, but only use it for flavoring and coloring. It possesses a unique natural aroma and if juiced, imbues a bright green color to the dishes.
I happened to have bought a whole bunch of pandan leaves which had been sitting inside my fridge waiting to wither. I took some and cooked rice with it to infuse the pandan flavor to my rice, but there was just too much leftovers.
1,2,3... 20 I counted. Whatever I have to do with it, I have to do it fast... My final decision? Juice 'em! It is so easy, and it only take 2 ingredients - pandan leaves and water. Just like making a fruit juice yeah...
